Chapter 3 Sheep in Tiger's Mouth

Seeing that Pearl was about to fall again, Philip couldn’t think but quickly grabbed the breast that was exposed outside to pull her up. What a fast thunder-like hand-reaching, and what a precise dragon-like grab. After pulling up Pearl, Philip couldn’t feel the visual and tactile enjoy of Pearl’s breast too much. He took Old Wang, hurriedly cross the crowd, and rushed away from there, leaving only Pearl, half-naked and was painful and numb on breast, in a daze alone. Philip helped Old Wang to The First Hospital of Golden City. After more than an hour’s work in line and registration, he finally lay on the bed. “The wounds on head and thigh are all superficial injuries. It doesn’t matter. It will be OK to apply for some medicine. But it was bone injuries on the back and leg. We will still need to wait for the X-ray results to know the specific situation. Our suggestion is to stay in the hospital for observation first. When the results of the X-ray come out, we will make a specific treatment plan.” The doctor told Old Wang and Philip about the situation and then left. Philip pulled a chair and sat on it at the head of Old Wang’s bed. “Uncle Wang, can you tell me now what was going on?” Old Wang sighed with sorrow. “It was Big Yang’s group. They wanted to extort more protection fees because I had a good business in this period. I don’t want to, so they began to rob. They not only robbed money but also smashed stuff. I was so angry that I shout to them, so they beat me. Ah, Little Philip, I have caused trouble for you again. Don’t worry about the money. I’ll pay you back the medical expenses as soon as possible.” Philip squinted slightly. His aura changed a lot for a moment, which seemed to lower the temperature in the ward. Fortunately, he recovered in a moment. Even so, Old Wang felt a throbbing, and goosebumps went out on Wang’s skin. Old Wang was just an ordinary person who subconsciously thought that this feeling was his illusion. If there were a famous killer or a top special forces elite, he would be alert quickly. The feeling that Philip inadvertently gave was commonly known as a murderous look. In the past two years, with the increase in killing, Philip couldn’t control his emotions. To avoid being controlled by violence and killing, he left the underground world and returned to Golden City, hoping to gradually eliminate his inner tyrannical intentions with a soft life. Philip originally thought that he could control these intentions gradually after returning to Golden city for half a year. But just now, his murderous look was exposed inadvertently. Philip knew that he had a long way to go before he could control his inner intentions entirely. “Don’t say that. When I just returned to Golden City, if you didn’t help me find a house and give me money to live, now I will still stay in some holes under the bridge.” Philip’s words were a little exaggerated. After all, for his abilities, it was impossible to have no place to live. But Old Wang indeed helped him a lot before. Although Philip’s hands were covered with blood, they were all enemies’. For those who were kind to him, Philip surely knew to repay them. “Little Philip, when your Aunt Wang comes, don’t tell her the truth. I don’t want her to worry. Just say I fell accidentally.” It had happened already. One more person knew, but one more person worried. Philip had heard from Old Wang the name of Big Yang’s group, who were gangsters living by squeezing protection fees. The people who did business in the street of snacks almost all paid them protection fees. Every industry had its own living conditions. In Country C and even in the world, there was a phenomenon of extorting protection fees. Basically, every city had its own. The difference was only in the way of charging. Even if there were no Big Yang, there would be Big Lee and Big Zhang. It was just that Big Yang and his group had done too much this time. There was also a rule for stealing, and there were rules everywhere. If all the gangsters took protection fees like Big Yang and his group, probably no one dared to do business here. This time, Philip intended to teach Old Yang and his group a lesson on how to be a qualified gangster. If they didn’t go along the way, Philip didn’t mind getting more blood on his hands. Old Wang took the water cup that Philip handed him, and put it over his mouth. But he didn’t drink and soon took it down again. He looked a little bit embarrassed. Philip frowned. “Uncle Wang, if you have anything, just say it. If you need my help, I will try my best.” “I actually have one thing to ask you.” I have a niece from my hometown. She is going to graduate from college. Her mother asked me to find a place to live in. Aunt Wang and I barely have enough room for only us. You know how expensive it is to rent in Golden City now. You live alone anyway, so I want her to share the rent with you so that both you and she can save some money. What do you think about?” “Just this? As long as she agrees, I am willing to find someone to share some rent.” Helga had already demanded, so Philip was going to live with Susan in the future. Initially, Philip intended to return the house he rented. Now that Old Wang had mentioned this, Philip didn’t mind renting for more time. Money was just a number for people like Philip. Except for the money Philip had made aboard during these years, Susan and Helga were all crazy rich people. As long as Philip asked, it was uncertain for Susan, but Helga would surely give him money. Seeing that Philip agreed, Old Wang took a sigh of relief. “I thank you on behalf of my niece. She is quite beautiful but very soft. We will worry about her if she lives alone outside. If you live with her, you will definitely take care of her as much as possible, which will make me feel more relieved.” Philip blushed. Did he look like a gentleman? If Old Wang knew Philip’s dissolute private life aboard, he would never put his niece and Philip under the same roof. Philip had been abroad for many years, from carrying out various mercenary tasks to fighting against some terrorist organizations and extremist forces. Basically, he walked on the edge of death and bore mental pressure every day. For men, the best way to release stress was alcohol and women. Every time Philip finished his task or successfully killed the enemy, he would find one or several women to vent. For women, especially beautiful women, Philip didn’t have much resistance. Old Wang was a sincere man. Since he said that his niece was beautiful, his niece would not be too bad. From Old Wang’s words, Philip could guess what kind of girl his niece was. There was a feeling of sending sheep into the tiger’s mouth to send such a soft and inexperienced beautiful girl to live with Philip. Of course, Philip was not stupid enough to expose himself. However, in private, Philip was a little more curious about Old Wang’s niece. Philip knew how open the girls were now. There were not so many girls like Wang’s niece, who was about to graduate from University, but her families were still worried for her to live alone.
